CCullapse
Legal

End-User License Agreement

Cullapse is proprietary commercial software, licensed and not sold. When distributed through the App Store, this agreement supplements Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement and prevails where the two conflict, to the extent permitted.

Effective 2026-05-13 · Version 1.0

1. Parties

This Agreement is between you (the “Licensee”) and Shawn M. Brown, an individual developer (“Licensor”). By installing, copying, or using Cullapse (the “Software”), you agree to be bound by it. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

Cullapse is a personal project. There is no company, no support staff, and no formal organization behind Licensor. References in this Agreement to “Licensor” mean Shawn M. Brown personally.

2. License grant

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement and, where applicable, the Apple EULA referenced in §16, Licensor grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software:

  • on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, and
  • as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms when distributed via the App Store, including Family Sharing if enabled.

The Software is licensed, not sold. All right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights, remain with Licensor and its licensors.

3. Restrictions

You may not, and may not permit any third party to:

  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits despite this limitation.
  • Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Software.
  • Rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, redistribute, or transfer the Software, or use it to provide a hosted service to third parties (whether for fee or free of charge).
  • Remove or alter any proprietary notices or labels on the Software.
  • Use the Software in any way that violates applicable law or the rights of others.
  • Bypass, attempt to bypass, or assist others in bypassing the license-tier mechanism described in §11.

4. Command-line tool

The Software includes a bundled command-line interface (cullapse). The CLI is part of the Software and is licensed under the same terms. You may invoke the CLI from your own scripts and shell sessions on the device where the Software is installed. You may not redistribute the CLI binary separately from the application bundle, or bundle it into other software.

5. Destructive actions

The Software performs operations that may permanently alter the contents of your mail accounts, including deletion, archival, movement between folders, and modification of message flags. The Software provides confirmation prompts, dry-run modes, an undo buffer, and VIP protections; these are aids, not guarantees.

You are solely responsible for reviewing confirmations, configuring the undo window appropriately for your environment, and maintaining backups of any mail you cannot afford to lose. Licensor has no obligation and no ability to recover mail removed from your provider.

6. AI-assisted features

The Software offers optional AI-assisted categorization, triage suggestions, and rule proposals. AI output is advisory. It may be incorrect, incomplete, or misleading. You remain responsible for every action you take in your mailbox, whether or not it was suggested by an AI feature.

Where you configure a third-party AI provider with your own API key, your use of that provider is governed by your agreement with them. Licensor is not a party to that agreement and is not responsible for the provider's processing, availability, or output.

7. Automation and scripting

The Software supports rules, scheduled tasks, and CLI invocation from external schedulers. Automation can perform large-scale changes to your mailboxes very quickly. You are responsible for every script and schedule you create, including their interaction with provider-side rate limits, retention policies, and unintended targets. Test with --dry-run before running new automation against live data.

8. Third-party services

The Software connects to mail providers (over IMAP), to Apple services (Foundation Models, iCloud Keychain, iCloud KV-Store, the App Store), and optionally to third-party AI providers you configure. These services are operated by entities other than Licensor. Licensor does not control them, does not guarantee their availability, accuracy, or behavior, and is not liable for any act or omission of those providers, including any provider's decision to suspend, throttle, or terminate your account.

9. Updates

Licensor may, at its discretion, release updates to the Software. Some updates may be required for the Software to function correctly with current Apple operating systems or mail provider protocols. Continued use after an update is your acceptance of it. Apple's Usage Rules determine your right to roll back updates distributed via the App Store.

10. Term and termination

This Agreement remains in effect until terminated. It terminates automatically without notice if you breach any term. On termination, you must stop using the Software and remove all copies from devices under your control. Sections 5, 6, 7, 11 through 17 survive termination.

11. License tiers; “lifetime” purchase

Cullapse is sold as a one-time purchase via the Mac App Store, with Universal Purchase across Mac, iPhone, and iPad and Family Sharing enabled. The free tier covers one mailbox and is fully functional on all of your Apple devices. The optional Pro in-app purchase adds unlimited mailboxes and access to the bundled command-line tool.

“Lifetime” refers to the commercially supported life of the Software: the period during which Licensor continues to offer updates for the then-current major version. It does not mean perpetual access to all future major versions. If a future major version is offered as a separate paid release, that is a new license, not part of your existing one. Licensor's current update commitments are described on the support page.

12. Warranty disclaimer

The Software is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, and non-infringement. Licensor does not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, free of harmful components, or that it will operate in combination with any specific software, hardware, or service. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Licensor's total cumulative liability arising out of or relating to the Software or this Agreement is limited to the amount you paid for the Software in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or USD 50, whichever is greater.

Licensor will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, loss of profits, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility. This limitation applies regardless of the theory of liability and notwithstanding the failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy.

14. Indemnity

You will indemnify and hold Licensor harmless from any claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of this Agreement, your misuse of the Software, or your violation of any third party's rights.

15. Export and sanctions

You represent that you are not located in, and will not export the Software to, any country subject to a comprehensive U.S. embargo or to any party on a U.S. government denied-party list.

16. Apple's Standard Licensed Application EULA

When the Software is acquired through the App Store, the following terms additionally apply, as required by Apple's Schedule 2:

  1. Acknowledgement. You and Licensor acknowledge that this Agreement is concluded between you and Licensor only, not with Apple, and that Licensor — not Apple — is solely responsible for the Software and its content.
  2. Scope of license. The license granted to you is limited to a non-transferable license to use the Software on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by Apple's Usage Rules, including Family Sharing.
  3. Maintenance and support. Licensor is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support specified in this Agreement, or as required by applicable law. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Software.
  4. Warranty. Licensor is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the Software to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the Software to you; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Software.
  5. Product claims. You and Licensor acknowledge that Licensor, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any of your or any third party's claims relating to the Software or your possession or use of it, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the Software fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation, including in connection with the Software's use of the HealthKit and HomeKit frameworks.
  6. Intellectual property rights. You and Licensor acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the Software or your possession and use of the Software infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Licensor — not Apple — will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
  7. Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  8. Developer name and address. Licensor is Shawn M. Brown, an individual developer. Licensor maintains no physical business address; contact is by email only at dev@snxt.ai.
  9. Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the Software.
  10. Third-party beneficiary. You and Licensor acknowledge that Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

17. General

  • Entire agreement. This Agreement, together with the privacy policy and any in-app notices, is the entire agreement between you and Licensor with respect to the Software.
  • Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
  • No waiver. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
  • Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement. Licensor may assign it in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
  • No SaaS / service use. You may not use the Software to provide a hosted email-triage service to third parties.
